Sioux Falls water system works really well, unless of course you count the year of 2004.

Staggers asked why the numbers for 2004 Backups were not included in the table on page 5 of the audit report. Oksol responded that he can obtain that information from Public Works and forward it to the Council via email.

Now, I know this may not mean much to the general public, and if Staggers would not have asked the question, it probably would have went over my head to, but if you remember, 2004 was the year that the sewer system in Sioux Falls failed during two rainstorms and backed up into hundreds of people’s basements. Ironic it would not be included in the audit . . . NOT!
